Chapter 1822: Holy Light!
It was just as Irina thought. The octopus meat that Mag used to make the stir-fried octopus tentacles and the octopus balls weren’t from that octopus monster in the underground cavern, but appeared to be a small octopus with tentacles the size of a thumb.
Although she was very repulsed by ingredients with tentacles, when everyone was indulging in its goodness, and the smell of the stir-fried octopus tentacles filled the air, she also wanted to give it a try. This was especially so when Gloria, who was sitting right in front of her, was eating the octopus ball so deliciously.
Gloria finished her octopus ball in small bites, and opened her eyes, meeting Irina’s gaze.
“Miss Audrey, do you want to give it a try? This octopus ball is really delicious,” Gloria offered with a smile as she pushed the plate of octopus balls towards Irina.
Irina looked at Gloria’s sincere expression, and hesitated for a while. She then picked up a small octopus ball with her chopsticks with a smile, and said, “Thank you.” After that, she put the entire ball into her mouth.
Her instinct told her that the octopus ball, topped with bonito flakes and shredded seaweed, and with a dash of seaweed powder and drizzled with ketchup and mayonnaise, should be eaten in a single bite.
The moment she bit into the octopus ball, it exploded in her mouth.
The slightly scalding temperature did not hurt her. Instead, it triggered her taste buds, and woke them up from their slumber.
The sweet-and-sour sauce wrapped around the slightly charred outer layer. The bonito flakes had a slight roasted scent. The seaweed powder and shredded seaweed added to the fragrance, and after the octopus ball exploded, the sweetness of the vegetables, crunchiness of the corn, and goodness of the octopus tentacle fused perfectly in her mouth.
At this moment, Irina felt her soul transcend as she closed her eyes subconsciously.
After that, she saw a ray of light flash across the sky, tearing the dark apart!
“Holy Light!”
Irina was stunned. Her body flew towards the sky. She attempted to search for that light that was growing brighter, and could almost light up the entire sky.
After a very, very long time, Irina opened her eyes slowly, and she was unable to hide her shock.
She did not manage to catch up with that Holy Light, but she saw an even larger sky and earth.
The upper limit she once thought she knew was just the upper limit that she had set. The real Holy Light… had no upper limit.
It could tear apart the dark and shoot through the Milky Way. It came from a limitless distance away, and traveled across the boundless universe. It was unstoppable, and would not stop.
That was the real law of the Holy Light!
The so-called Holy Light Technique should be created when the creator first understood the law of the Holy Light, Irina thought to herself. The upper limit of the technique came from the creator’s understanding of the Holy Light.
If she could interpret the law of the Holy Light at a higher level, she would be able to enhance the Holy Light Technique to another level.
The Holy Light could dispel the evil aura in the Great Old Ones, but its harm to their bodies was negligible.
This time, they had only sealed half of the Great Old One, and there might be even more parts of the Great Old Ones hidden in various parts of the Norland Continent, awaiting the day they broke through from the seals.
Even Mag, who had become stronger, would still be unable to kill that half of the Great Old One. He needed an even stronger helper.
The Holy Light was able to deal a huge blow to the Great Old Ones, and might even turn them into ashes.
The scene she just now… seemed to be because of the octopus tentacle?
“Miya, I want another two large servings of the octopus ball.” Irina raised her hand as she spoke to Yabemiya, who was walking over.
“Huh?” Yabemiya was a little shocked that this beautiful lady actually knew her name, and she even called her in such an endearing way. However, she quickly nodded with a smile, and replied, “Alright, please hold on.”
Gloria was equally shocked, but at the fact that Irina actually wanted another two large servings of the octopus balls. She sneaked a peek at her slim waist, and felt a little envious. She can eat so much, and still maintain such a good figure. How enviable.
“Have some more if you like it,” Gloria told Irina generously with a smile.
“Then I will help myself to them. I’ll return them to you later.” Irina was eager to verify her hypothesis, and quickly put another octopus ball into her mouth.
The moment she bit into the octopus ball, and the goodness started spreading in her mouth, the Holy Light came just as expected…
“Indeed.”
After a long while, Irina opened her eyes. She was filled with joy and questions.
It was just as she thought that all the scenes she saw were because of the octopus ball, but after she entered the illusion, she had the chance to see the Holy Light and the traces it left behind.
This was a very miraculous state. Based on her understanding of the Holy Light Technique, she could easily capture some of the laws of the Holy Light. The even larger laws were what she was still unable to comprehend.
However, with just this glance, it was akin to a year’s worth of self-realization of the Holy Light Technique. If she could see more of the Holy Light, she would have more chances to comprehend the law of the Holy Light.
But why would this ordinary-looking octopus tentacle have such a miraculous effect? Is this illusion related to the octopus monster? What they saw… was it the same as what I saw? Questions started flooding into Irina’s head. She turned to glance at Mag, who was in the kitchen. This fellow. To think he did not even mention it.
Gloria looked at Irina, who turned to look towards the kitchen, and felt worried. She recalled what she said just now when she just came in. Could Miss Audrey have fallen for Mr. Mag?
This thought suddenly made her regret recommending the octopus balls to Irina. Such cute-looking and delicious food would always easily capture a young lady’s heart.
Irina turned back, and happened to meet eyes with Gloria. She smiled slyly. “Are you worried that I will fall in love with him?”
“I… I’m not…” Gloria blushed. She shook her head in a fluster and looked down, afraid to look into Irina’s eyes, as though those two clear eyes could easily see through her thoughts.
Irina smiled. She found this lady even more interesting. Although she would never let her have Mag, she could still be friends with her.
The two servings of octopus balls were served quickly.
“Here, I had two of yours. I’ll return you three.” Irina pushed one serving of octopus balls towards Gloria with a smile, and said, “Of course, do finish it all up if you can.”
“I can’t eat so much. If I continue eating… I’ll grow fat.” Gloria quickly waved her hands in a fluster. However, the moment she saw the golden-brown balls, she could not bear to reject them. She hesitated for a while, and said guiltily, “Then I’ll have just two more.”
“Whatever floats your boat.” Irina nodded. She picked up an octopus ball, put it into her mouth, and felt the Holy Light descend upon her again.
